It's all about Coventry.....

[sbedscobb]

Also see London Wasps rugby club are seriously looking to move to the Ricoh,
Not good for London based wasp fans or even cov rugby club.
Hypocrisy of the highest

[A view from the east]

Er , is this thread any longer anything at all to do with the Cobblers ?
Just asking.

[The 12th Marquis of Sixfields]

is their ground still listed as sixfields?

[boca negra cake]

Just to ensure that the only high ground that coventry city fans could lay claim to was the hill behind the north stand as they have been shown up to be hypocrites.

[Alwaysdark]

Badly drawn boy has had a shave...

[boca negra cake]

Apparently some of the fans are insisting that we give them their pitch back as the one at the ricoh is in a poor state due to some gaming festival being allowed to walk all over it.

[guest49]

All's well that ends well. Some crowd that.

[Baby Bear]

Yes, 27 thousand hypocrites. Not a penny more.....

[boca negra cake]

It seems not a word more about not a penny more fools on the hill, anyhow once the prices go up from a £10 at the ricoh you'll see the crowds drop and the not a penny more morons come back to life.

[guest49]

That'll be the next game then as they are £18-25.

What's the chances on Coventry coming back ? Coventry council have agreed to sell 100% stake in Ricoh to Wasps for £20 million. Coventry have been told Wasps will honour current deal. After that who knows.

The entire huge Ricoh stadium for £20 mill!!
We get some steel framework, cladding and some boxes for £7.500,000

Didn't the ricoh cost something like £130 million to build I think that wasps also have to pay an outstanding  £13 million loan back to coventry council over 20 years. I'm not 100% sure on that but it would put the sale up to over £30 million.

This thread is in the wrong place I think. Not NTFC related any more.

So, at the Ricoh, they have an average attendance of 14,026 for League 1 games. Not much chance of our ever matching that, eh?

No, our best ever average was when we were in the top flight, 18,599.

The only other time we've beaten the average quoted was the season prior to our one season in the top flight, 14,642. That of course was in what is now the Championship, not the third tier of football. Our best average at that level was also in the sixties, 13,107 in 1962/3.

Someone said this is not Cobblers news. It's definitely Cobblers style sniping, though.

[The 12th Marquis of Sixfields]

We might end up sharing with them soon.
